The MahanyLaw Tax Team Helps Whistleblowers Report Cases of Federal Tax Underpayment or Evasion and Apply for an IRS Whistleblower Cash Reward.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Whistleblower Program was enacted in 2006 through the Tax Relief and Health Care Act and rewards whistleblowers who report tax payment violations by paying as a whistleblower reward 10-30% of any amount recovered in a verdict or settlement.

Companies that underpay or avoid paying federal taxes cost the U.S. taxpayers billions each year. If you select have inside (non-public) information on the intentional or unintentional underpayment of taxes, you have an opportunity to recover these unpaid tax dollars for the taxpayers and can be eligible to collect a significant cash reward for uncovering the fraud.

In 2013, the IRS paid a collective $53 million in whistleblower awards out of a $367 million tax dollar recovery as a result of tips provided. The first major IRS whistleblower award was for $104 million, paid in 2012 to a banker who uncovered information on Swiss banks helping Americans evade taxes. Since then, the amount of tips have been steadily pouring in.

How Does the IRS Determine the Whistleblower Cash Reward Amount for Reporting Tax Fraud to the IRS?

According to the IRS Whistleblower Office, the amount of the whistleblower reward is determined based on the degree of the whistleblower’s information, his contribution to the investigation and the recovery amount.

If the IRS’s financial recovery – including taxes, penalties and interest – is greater than $2 million, the whistleblower award may range from 15-30% of the recovery amount. If the whistleblower does not meet the $2 million prerequisite for taxes, penalties and interest, the IRS whistleblower reward can include up to 10% of the financial recovery to a maximum of $10 million.

A number of circumstances exist that may extend this time frame and you may still be eligible for an IRS whistleblower reward after that period, however it is still important to act quickly. If the IRS discovers the underpayment prior to your report, or if someone else reports the violation before you, you may no longer be eligible for the whistleblower reward or may cause a significant reduction in your cash award.
